Kelcey, Ben – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 2011
This study examined the practical problem of covariate selection in propensity scores (PSs) given a predetermined set of covariates. Because the bias reduction capacity of a confounding covariate is proportional to the concurrent relationships it has with the outcome and treatment, particular focus is set on how we might approximate…

Lottridge, Susan M.; Nicewander, W. Alan; Mitzel, Howard C. – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 2011
This inquiry had 2 components: (1) the first was substantive and focused on the comparability of paper-based and computer-based test forms and (2) the second was a within-study comparison wherein a quasi-experimental method, propensity score matching, was compared with a credible benchmark method, a within-subjects design. The tests used in the…

Pek, Jolynn; Sterba, Sonya K.; Kok, Bethany E.; Bauer, Daniel J. – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 2009
The graphical presentation of any scientific finding enhances its description, interpretation, and evaluation. Research involving latent variables is no exception, especially when potential nonlinear effects are suspect. This article has multiple aims. First, it provides a nontechnical overview of a semiparametric approach to modeling nonlinear…

Henschke, Claudia I.; And Others – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 1974
The technique presented accomodates multiple populations and a mixture of variable types. It is based on the linear discriminant function and the sequential concept. Also presented is an example in which the technique is used to obtain the classification rule to predict the career choices of individuals based upon a mixture of variable types.…
